James Coverdell

This is a class from Garrison School, 1966-67. The teachers are Miss Kinkaid (2nd from left) and Nettie Thompson (far right) with student teacher also. Please see the other photos I've posted with the same teacher/s at the same school, different years (look under special collections, School Days). Two are id.ed as 4th and 5th grades, so I presume the others are also because of same teachers. I have posted all the names below, starting with front row left to right, then middle row, then back row. I have also added 1 child at the end of the list who was absent on photo day, as the info might help to i.d. the school. This photo was part of a lot of photos received from a person in Kansas, who got them from another person who collected them from numerous estate sales throughout Kansas and Oklahoma.

I did a web search for a Garrison School in Kansas or Oklahoma and there seem to be several. I have written to one. There are also others across the US and Canada. I can't guarantee which one it might be. If anyone can tell me, I would be delighted. I hope the names will give a clue to someone. Also, it may be in the same district or county as a “Cleaveland School” which is mentioned on one of the class photos.

Mystery is where the school is.

James J. Coverdell died during the Civil War. The name Sarah is alleged to be written on the back of the photo and on the front of the photo was written Gen Kilpatrick on the bottom edge.

Note: Upon closer examination of the individual and his attire, it is my own theory that this photo is that of James J. Coverdell in military attire and this photo was addressed to Sarah. See submission for Sarah Ann (Coverdell) Wakefield.

I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Aunt Jennie COVERDALLE or COVERDALE which was taken sometime in the early 1900’s with Jennie likely in her 40’s at the time the photograph was taken. There is no studio or location referenced on the photograph though it was found in Indiana if that is any clue. I’m hoping to locate someone from Jennie’s family so that this beautiful old photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.

Thanks,
Shelley
